Discovering Jason Statham was a commonwealth games diver, grew up with Vinnie Jones, and was a sports model and background dancer in music videos before becoming an actor. What a journey!

Folks, tax is progressive. If you have a second job, the employer does know what you earn at the first job so they tax you in a lower bracket when it probably should be a higher bracket even if you dont claim TFT by mistake on both you will get a tax bill. Withhold more tax from second job

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

Why not? Do they not have access to antibiotics and antivirals for HIV? We have adult generations now who didnt grow up with the fear of HIV and getting pregnant as consequence of unsafe sex. (Albeit latter is probably coming back in the US) Even syphilis is making a comeback.

Yeah but then the ones who did the rolling changed the rules to make it harder for someone to do it them…. For electoral stability.

But vaccination rates were probably never high? And 15yrs ago nothing? So if rates are higher than pre vax, theres more to it than that. I wonder if surges are more to do with increase in risky sex due to things like PreP being available in places like UK and Germany and STIs no longer deadly

I did it once and it was so horrifically painful and slow to write an agenda. Time is profit so i am utterly blown away by this choice.

What sicko thought writing an agenda and minutes would be more efficient in Excel? The same excel that has cell height limits so cant add large screen grabs… same excel you cant nest a table into a cell, cant track changes for minutes review, cant format text easily, and thinks every - is a minus?

The cool thing is that the plural is famuli, so you can say to the lab group that everyone there is a part of your famuli (putting on a Dominic Toretto voice of course) and people will *think* you are saying family, when you are actually calling them servants.

Burning your bridges in politics is just plain stupid unless they have done something reprehensible and you HAVE to distance. This woman just made a stand on an issue many are very concerned about. I say that says dedication to your personal beliefs over party line. Should have allowed conscience V

I am mystified that any lab MP would be so utterly stupid as to now question section 44 and admit they didnt get a constitutional ruling themselves on the matter. Utterly stupid own goal. And utterly stupid move to keep pushing her further and further away. Cant blame her at all watching the fallout

Sounds about right. Mine wanted to charge me for internet because nbn pre installer decided to install box at the same time “to be efficient” but no powerpoints installed yet so literally cant use the service!

"Oh SHIT we're running out of GAS we gotta extract MORE GAS" is one of the filthiest lies from Aus' fossil fuel industry, yet somehow it's also extremely successful and largely received completely uncritically every time it gets repeated by their cheerleaders

Ive had similar emails in my inbox “but the internet said x y z you must be wrong” but thankfully few and far between. I even had one asking where they could get mass spec independently performed to prove their point! I just ignore them but must be hard when its frequent.

Anyone want to put bets on whether electrician and plumber show up next week like we are being told they will? Will we have power and water coming moving day next sat? BS needs polls lol

That said if theyre emailing you i would suspect thats because they have a level of skepticism about what they’ve seen and see you as a scientist who can provide a clear counter. At least for some of them

He hasnt come out to deny the quotes are his so i am assuming they are. Which means he, at best, had his new 21yo nanny on her first day living under his roof get in a bath and “cuddle” him. This alone screams creep and abuse of power. Then he has accused her of mental illness as a defence.

Nothing has happened at the house this week yet. Concreter didnt come today to lay rubble as planned and concrete holds up air con and exterior painting. We added 2 months to our lease (after adding 6 months) thinking that was overkill and im worried we will be forced out before its done

We were told electrician would come this week. Dad rang him at start of the week and he said he wasnt and was booked for next 2 weeks. We are moving next weekend. Harvey norman order placed 3 weeks ago… not here. Plumber and electrician need that. No idea if plumber is coming next week as told..
